The fuel valve sometimes does not “click” when selecting the left tank (valve in the forward position). Is there an easy fix for this or does the valve need to be rebuilt? Having flown Warriors and Archers I prefer the newer fuel valve with positive stops. Can the newer fuel valve be installed in place of the older valve?

It should click. There are some aircraft with similar valves that have an AD on this
topic. It is relatively easy to replace the “ detent washer” or possibly just flip it
over. Generally the cone should be lubed with Fuel- lube, easy- turn or similar.
Replace the o-ring as well. Occasionally; you may find the “ cup” upside down and
causing the detent to be ineffective.
